Best Answer

When the blades are engaged, an extra load is put on the engine and the governor may not be able to compensate for it. Check the area around the governor lever for debris and spray some WD-40 on it. If the problem persists, rotate the carburetor main jet needle counter-clockwise (open) 1/8 turn for a slightly richer mixture.

Why would a push lawn mower lock up?

A self propelled pushing lawnmower might stop operating because you may have gotten something caught in the blades. Or the operator might haver run out of energy. If a power mower. A possible reason. If you don't check the oil, you might have run out. Once the engine gets hot enough, without oil, it will seize up. This will render your lawnmower useless. Whenever you use your lawnmower, just like checking the gas, check the oil also. As running out of gas will stop the lawnmower temporarily, running out of oil can stop it forever.
